Woman Feels So Well
Kceseville, N. Y. —“I cannot praise
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound too highly for
the good it has done
me. I was so much
troubled with female
weakness I could
hardly do any work.
I sawyour advertise
ment in the paper,
and read it to my
husband. He said,
‘You had better try
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com
pound’, so I bought
six bottles, and by taking it I am nut
troubled as I was. I am gaining strength
and getting fleshy. My female troubles
have vanished and I have never felt so
well. The Liver Pills are the best _I ever
took. If you think my letter will en
courage other sufferers you have my
permission to use it as an advertise
ment.’’-Mrs. Sarah Blaise, Box 177,

COMMUNITY’S VIEW OF LIFE

A few days ago a sun-browned man
with n thin "ascetic face and keen gray
eyes sat in the offices of The Constitu
tion ami told of a life work that has re
sulted in the transformation of an en
tire community’s view of lifo.^
That gray-haired man of vivid coun-
tonance and intense gale was Dr. Ram
say C. Sharp, president of Reinhardt
college of Woleska, Cherokee county, a
little Methodist instituton of learning
that nestles in a broad, green valley
cradled in the lap of towering Bird and
Pinelog mountains.
Unaccompanied by the verbal hcraldy
that usually presages a newspaper
“story” of distinguished accomplish
ment," Dr. Sharp’s life work came to
light in piecemeal during the course of
a quiet conversation.
Sensationalism was in no way asso
ciated with his words - and it would be
little less than treacherous to convert
them into the product of the “yellow
journalist. ’ ’
Sixteen Years’ Service.
As a result, this story of Ramsey <\
Sharp and bis quiet work ia the (ioor-
monntains violates all “news”
rules from the start and unfolds itselt
a the same calm manner adopted by
; narrator.
To the few who do not know Ur.
Sharp and his work at Reinhardt, be it
id that he has devoted sixteen years
„f his life to the development of the
little school in the hazy Georgia valley
of the Blue Ridge foothills.
As ho told of the slow but constant
rowth of the institution school and its
, ffect upon the mountain life about it,
Dr. Sharp’s life for his work and hopo
for its continued expansion shone in ewer
is face.
“What about moonshiners? lie was
skoa “Do they trouble you or your
students. What is their attitude to
ward Reihnrdt?” , , ,
Dr. Sharp puffed at a homely briar
pipe before tie replied iu the slow moun-
nin drawl that belies the “snap’ in
his eyes.
Explains Statement.
Once they gave us lots of trouble,”
he said, “but that was a number of
nrs ago. Now we give them trouble.
1 ‘ How do you explain that state
ment?” he was asked.
And his reply brought to light the
„.aiisformation of the viewpoint on life
of the community about Reinhardt col
lege.
Well, it’s like this,” oxplainod Dr.
Sharp. “When X took up the reins at
Reinhardt sixteen years ago or there
abouts, the 400 square miles of valley
land about Waleska was a center for
the whiskey manufacturing business.
The man who believed that the govern
ment had the right to refuse to allow
■mv citizen to make or drink whiskey
was regarded us a fool—but there were
those in the community who held just
that view. “Students of Reinhardt ac
cepted the view of the majority of the
people about them, and the influence of
whisltnv made itself felt in the school.
He puffed again at. the briar in reflec
tive mood.
Have Fought Traffic.
“Reinhardt and its authorities at all
times have fought liquor in its native
haunt,” he continued. “Olio time I
was Hourly mobbed for denouncing its
baleful grasp upon the mountain life—
but still we fought liquor boldly anil
openly. “And now the day has come
when the situation has completely
changed. Students of Reinhardt, with
out exception, realize that liquor is an
enemy to be shunned. I speak truly
when I tell you that, they will not toi-
erate a moonshine still in all the 400
square miles of the Blue Ridge valley
of which it is the cultural, social and
geographic center.
“Reinhardt young men have tramped
through the hills and torn from their
hotbeds many a still betrayed to their
keen sight by the smoke. And today X
could cull upon hundreds of its students
nd alumni who would walk 2. r > miles to
destroy the copper monstrosity that is
tile curse of tho Georgia mountains.”
And there vou have it.
tanee and dignity of the work, ko as to
attract men of real worth.
If boards of trustees would raise the
standard of competency, it would be
in incentive to tho schools that provide
teachers, and even'our church schools,
to develop a higher standard. Even if
the Bible is not taught in our public
schools we need and must have men and
women for teachers who believe in the
teachings of the Books of Books, whoso
standards are Christian standards and
whoso lives are Christlike. The pre
nervation of our civilization and of
American ideals and traditions depend
largely upon it and it must be done.—

Sixteen years ago the mountain peo

they heatedly resented any attack upon

Today they are openly arrayed

Reinhardt was founded in 1883 by
Captain A. M. Reinhardt, widely known
and beloved Georgian, who gained his
own education with great difficulty and
who sponsored the college as a moans of
helping mountain boys and girls over
the same rough Toad he had traveled in
youth. Tn 1893, the school was ehartcr-
d, and is now a. standard junior col
lege of the North Goorgia Methodist
conference under direction of the of
fice of Dr. Elam P. Dempsey, educa
tional secretary.
Dr. Sharp is an alumnus of Reinhardt,
and except for a slight interruption of
liis work due to ill health, he has served
the school for almost two decades.
A fund of $100,000 for enlargement
of the scope of tho school's work is be
ing sought, and the first $25,000 is to be

of enriching life in your community.
How many of these ton progressive

THE TEACHER PROBLEM
MONEY! MONEY
Oar connections alwavs have unlim
ited ntoiiev to loan good men, on good
farms and good titles, on best terms
and lowest rates. ’"’ome to see as.
tfuc R. D. JACKSON Sc SON.
Tho time of the year has come when
school boards are providing teachers for
their schools. This is a matter of great
importance; greater, we sometimes fear,
than ttiose who have the matter in
charge often realize. The formation of
character, tiro training of minds and
the shupiug of destiny should Tightly
take first rank among all the activities
of life. If Christian civilization goes
to pieces with the next generation tlie
responsibility will rest largely upon
the teachers who are now being em
ployed to tench tho children, aud upon
those who aro responsible for such
teachers being employed.
Teaching is not a merejlmatter of
hearing lessons, nor is it simply impart
ing information or knowledge on some
brancli of study; but in a truer sense
it is the development and unfolding ot
personality. Now personality is the
result of influence, the imprint of other
personalities on our own. The teacher
who for nine months in the year comes
in direct contact with tho child in the
capacity of instructor, disciplinarian
and exemplar is at a tremendous ad
vantage in the matter of imparting
ideas and forming ideals that will de
velop character and unfold personality.
Character should be tlie first requisite
for competency in a teacher. A knowl
edge of the arts and sciences is not
essential to character but character is
essential to the proper use of such
knowledge. Without tho right sort of
character, instruction may but increase
the power for destruction, and hasten
the doom. There was much instruction
and knowledge in Germany in the days
Txaisor XYilliam, but that did not pre
vent the crime of war. Literature and
1 learning of themselves are powerless to
prevent social disasters. Rome in the
days of Theodosius was great in her
literature, laws, arts and sciences and
yet all these adjuncts of civilization
did not save Romo from utter destruc
tion. There is no escape from ruin
when those virtues on which strength
is based have passed away. The glo
rious achievements of man come tumb
iug down, when the love of pleasure
and self-indulgence saps tho strength
of society. In view of these facts it
would be a very unwise thing to em
ploy as teachers of tho young, those
who hold up no higher ideal of life
than a good time.
Perhaps no board of trustees would
deliberately employ a “vamp” for a
teacher, and yet it often happens that
some who are employed have decided
tendencies in that direction. In fact
tenching seems to be a side-line with
some .a means of paying expenses while
they practice coquetry. With such
large number of excellent young women
to select, from, care should be taken
to weed out. the undesirables. In the
ease of men, only those of character
end purpose should be considered, and
tho compensation for such services
should be in keepiug with the impor-
